Legendary designer Timo Sarpaneva’s clean, functional Sarpaneva casserole represents the ultimate in modern Scandinavian design.
While the cast iron material and detachable wooden handle draw their inspiration from ancient Finnish folklore, recalling shelter from the forest and cooking over a fire.
The Sarpaneva pot was designed in 1960 by Timo Sarpaneva and was awarded a silver medal at the Milan Triennale the same year. Combining design usability with a traditional cast iron pot, Sarpaneva's inspiration came from his blacksmith grandfather.
The heavy iron ensures slow, even cooking both on the stove and in the oven. Enamel surface guarantees easy cleaning and that no flavours stick to the pot. The ingenious curved wooden handle lets one lift the entire pot to the table or only the lid without burning one’s fingers. Makes a truly thoughtful gift.

Please note: The Sarpaneva pot cannot be put in the dishwasher, scoured inside or experience sudden temperature changes (don't run cold water over the hot pot!) The base is iron, and will rust if left damp. You can clean off the rust with steel wool. Do not use steel wool on the enamel on the inside of your Sarpaneva Pot. They need TLC :)
